Measurable snow is rare in Paulding County, and the county has no snow-removal ordinance. Residents are not required to shovel sidewalks; icy days are handled by state and county road crews treating priority routes.
Paulding County sits in the northwest Atlanta metro, where winters are mild and accumulating snow arrives only every few years. No county ordinance requires homeowners or businesses to clear snow or ice from sidewalks. When a rare winter storm hits, the Georgia DOT and Paulding County DOT focus on treating and clearing priority roads and bridges rather than neighborhood sidewalks. Owners still hold general responsibility for keeping their own walkways reasonably safe and can face civil liability if a visitor is injured on an icy walk they failed to maintain.
No ordinance penalizes an uncleared sidewalk in Paulding County. Owners can still face civil negligence liability if someone is injured on an icy or obstructed walkway they failed to reasonably maintain.
